Thanks for the info,
it helped. I've been on Effexor XL for a few years now (I'm 46 and diagnosed depressive about 15 years ago). Started at 75, bumped up to 150mg a little over 6 months ago. I was noticed too late (on vacation) that I was running low on pills. Unfortunately, my doctor is on vacation as well ... boy, do I feel it now :-)((((. Vertigo, zaps, loss of memory, cannot focus, sweats - almost passed out. I will get pills in a few hours, but I can tell anyone who wants to know: cold turkey for this drug is a BAD IDEA. I hope I'm back on track soon.
PS I have been on other antidepressants before, and Effexor XL has worked best. Only thing that scared me a little is I have a shorter fuse. (I was in a fight, not really something I do). Also, I've noticed that my ears ring in the morning - annoying, but nothing more.
cheers
